Warren / Canada
speaker Yeah, I think I'm not very good at keeping clean. My wife is always getting upset that I'm leaving things out on the counter 1 in the kitchen, or leaving my clothes in the bedroom in the wrong place, and I definitely 2 have to improve those habits.
 
Gareth / England 
speaker Yeah, I procrastinate 3. This means 4 to kind of put stuff 5 off. I often leave really important things until the last minute. I know I've got this bad habit, and I try to fight it by making to-do lists and stuff like that. But it's still a part of me that I really, really can't shake off.

speaker I probably have a very bad habit of not cleaning up after myself. I don't care much for cleaning, and I think a lot of my things around the house.
 
 Sarah / England 
speaker My biggest bad habit is wasting money. I often eat out just for the sake 7 of eating out. I often buy something just for the sake of buying it, and I will probably never use it after I buy it, but you know, I have to have it. So, wasting money is a big problem of mine.



Tim / United States 
speaker I have a bad habit of sleeping too much.

And then, I also stay up too late, and it just makes things more difficult with everything that I do.
